Moving on to the cars he owns, Mthombeni is a BMW fan, and he gives us the scoop, he said:

"I have 4 Series Convertible and my E30 323i green gush, and I'm currently interested in building other vehicles."

The host of SABC 2's 'Vital Signs' talks fondly about his current project, the gorgeous 323i Convertible:

"I got it about a year and half back and it was red and I resprayed it to a metallic green similar to an Isle of Man green. I've got a M52B25 (2.5-litre) engine with a new engine management system, and then redid the interior with a tan colour."

Moving onto his dream two-car garage, Mthombeni says a coupe and SUV will cover his needs:

"It'll probably be a Range Rover and the new i4 M50 is a really good looking car, so I'd definitely take that."
